AM-184 / AMC-184 Cascadable Thin Film Amplifier, 20 dB Gain, 10 - 2000 MHz Rev. V4 Features TO-8-1 • 20 dB High Gain • 60 mA Maximum Low Power Description M/A-COM’s AM-184 is a feedback amplifier with high intercept and compression points. This amplifier is packaged in a TO-8 package. Due to the internal power dissipation the thermal rise should be minimized. The ground plane on the PC board should be configured to remove heat from under the package. AM-184 is ideally suited for use where a high intercept, high reliability amplifier is required. Ordering Information Part Number Package AM-184 PIN 4 TO-8-1 AMC-184 SMA Connectorized 4. Mounting kit part number AU00071 required for PCB applications.
